SPOTLIGHT Dogwood Park

800 Monroe Street, Rockville, MD 20850

Dogwood Park opened in 1969 and currently spans 40.22 acres. This park hosts many different youth and adult programs, including sand volleyball, tennis and pickleball classes, youth cross country meets and Rockville Baseball Association (RBBA) baseball and softball games. Come by this park any night of the week or weekend to use any of the amenities this park offers, catch a local baseball game or grab a quick bite at the RBBA “Dogwood Dogs” snack bar. In May 2020, with help from the RBBA and artist Kris Connors, a wood statue of Walter Johnson was dedicated as a centerpiece of Dogwood Park, which fittingly already has one of the fields named after the former Washington Senators pitcher. Johnson, also known as “The Big Train,” played for the Senators for 21 years and, when he retired, he served as a Montgomery County Commissioner. Johnson is buried in the Rockville Cemetery on Baltimore Road. All this information and more can be found on the interpretive sign in front of the statue in the park. The park amenities include: • 3 ball diamonds • Batting cages • 3 lighted basketball courts • 3 lighted tennis courts with pickleball lines • 2 playgrounds • Sand volleyball court • 2 pavilions with picnic tables • Snack bar • Walter Johnson statue with interpretive sign Page 18 | Main Rec.
